‘Lazarus’ is the only track on ★ also featured in the stage production ‘Lazarus’ written by Bowie and Enda Walsh and directed by Ivo Van Hove, which opened December 7th in New York to great critical acclaim. The New York Times raved “Ice-cold bolts of ecstasy shoot like novas through the glamorous muddle and murk of Lazarus, the great-sounding, great-looking and mind-numbing new musical built around songs by David Bowie,” while Rolling Stone hailed ‘Lazarus’ as a “Surrealistic Tour de Force… milk-swimming, lingerie- sniffing, gin-chugging theater at its finest.”
